Mostly A’s: The Leader

You’re a natural leader. Whether you want to be a CEO or managing director, or take on another general management role, you likely have the critical management skills to get you there. You’ll have your first management interview in no time.

You may like to consider an MBA to help you hone your skills and introduce you to a powerful network. An MBA opens minds and doors and gives you the opportunity to build a network of other CEOs and senior leaders.

Mostly B’s: The Entrepreneur

You could be destined to start and lead your own business. You’re creative and innovative and full of passion. Take the time to learn as much as you can when working in different roles and organisations.

An MBA for an entrepreneur like yourself helps you to shape your skill set and refine your ideas.

Mostly C’s: The Technical Expert

You are incredible at what you do and have a bright career ahead of you. But that doesn’t mean you need to follow a traditional career path into a management position. Instead, perhaps you should consider how you can make the most of your technical expertise and capability.

If you do have management ambitions, an MBA can help you to develop the softer skills that you find more challenging.

Mostly D’s: The Student

You’re at a stage in your career when you still have a lot to learn. You have so many opportunities ahead of you, including management opportunities. You just need the right support to get you there.

An MBA can help you to develop both the hard and soft skills that you’ll need in your career. Why study an MBA? It’s a great way to open new doors in the future. Plus, an MBA graduate’s salary is typically greater over time than someone who hasn’t completed an MBA.
